THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1935 POLITICS IN A FOG In the columns of today's and yesterday's Kansans has been laid before you, the student body, an undesirable condition in the women's self-government of the University which continues to exist only through the tolerance of students. The facts presented are not new to those who have come in contact with the tactics employed by the women's organizations of the Hill. The Kansan's effort is to present the situation openly so that it may be discussed among the students and a decision reached as to changes which must be made. Whatever the method of government used, it is clear that electioneering among women must be brought out into the open if they are to be fairly represented. In the absence of frank campaigning it has been possible for larger organizations to swing elections as they wished, leaving the smaller sororities and independent women out in the cold. The condition has proceeded to such an extent that women who have no chance in the election because of their exclusion from the major combines, have refused to vote. The result is that there is a woman's governing organization which acts upon matters of minor importance concerning student affairs with a certain amount of freedom, but which is a farce as far as representing the women of the University goes. Organizations which hold the influence in women's politics could not be blamed for satisfaction with the present situation, although members of these bodies have expressed their approval of abolishing underhand methods. It is the women whose votes have "not counted" who must find in this student forum a remedy for the condition. They must, with the support of the student body, demand the campaigning be brought out in... we open where the relative merits of each candidate may be presented, thereby eliminating in large measure the cause of pre-settled elections. A cold in the "dose" might not be such a bad thing after all if it created as much concern as does the president's. THE ALL-POWERFUL As is the practice of Louisiana's near-dictator, another party has recently been given Huey Long's permission to "go to hell and stay there." Because of a recent tax levied on oil in Louisiana as one of Long's revengeful measures the Standard Oil Company has discharged 1,000 men in that territory and an air of extreme tension has gripped the town of Baton Rouge as the refinery workers are organizing a mass meeting to protest against the tax. The tax of five cents a barrel on the refining of oil, which becomes effective Wednesday, was credited with causing the Standard Oil Company immediately to begin discharging the employees and curtailing operations. Mr. Long, however, charges that the company is discharging workers to swindle them out of pensions, but he says they will not be able to do this when another new law of his goes into effect on January 9. All the wrangling about cause and effect obscures for the remote newspaper reader the important effect of this battle between a politician and a corporation—that a thousand defenseless workers are acting as the football and taking all the punishment. "They better hurry up with that exam schedule." said a popular young thing in the classroom. "If they don't watch out I'll be all dated up for the week of finals." AN HONOR FOR KANSAS It's great sport to take a shot at the things we don't like. And there's plenty of goings-on, here on the Campus as well as all over the world, that need tearing into. But there's a smooth as well as a seamy side to our local "cross section of life"—in which connection the current bouquet goes to Ray Miller who has been awarded a Rhodes scholarship. The University of Kansas gets on the map every once in awhile. Last year Glenn Cunningham carried her name and fame all over the world. But it's a good thing to turn the spotlight on scholastic as well as athletic prowess. A Rhodes scholarship, the first we have had since 1926, is an honor for Kansas as well as for the successful candidate. Congratulations both to the student who has achieved this distinction and to his university. What with so many plans for the restoration of the death penalty in Kansas being presented to the state legislature, we wonder if it is going to be altogether safe for the journalism cubs to publish the Topeka Daily Capital Monday. Some of its subscribers may consider that a capital offense. ATOP THE CRUST Everyone admits our superiority, so why shouldn't we? As a matter of fact, the folks at home, our poor unlucky friends who didn't get to college, they all say we're very fine stuff. What you might call the crust on top of the crust. sort of a sucrecron. Well sir, since that is the case, we won't need to do anything about it. Why get all worked up over a fact? We have the cash in hand, or some of us do, or we expect to get it later on, you know, when the chairman of the board finally recognizes our sterling qualities, in the old Alger phrase. And so on to the Pollyanna conclusion, "It will come out o.k. in the end." The good old economic machine that so many Washington type-writers keep busy telling us about, is still very much in the repair shop. With a few smart young men and women like—we hate to be so plain about it—but like everything will be hotty-tots in a little while. Who can doubt it? Philanthropy and Education From the Daily Pennsylvanian President Angell of Yale accuses current social and political trends, provoked by the depression, of menacing the great educational institutions. These universities have been depended largely upon the gifts of generous benefactors for the provision of libraries, scholarships, and museums. He opines that if the present tendency to excessive taxation of personal incomes persists or increases, and if it is coupled with further assault by inheritance taxes upon testimentary estates, the two largest sources of income for these universities are the grants they receive, if all heavily taxed persons were anthropic benefactors of colleges, or even if those who do endow their alma matres were equally distributed throughout the schools of the country, President Angel's statement would have more than local importance. But as far as we here at Pennsylvania are concerned, the entire repulse of income legislation would not seriously alter our present income from endowments. Even on a larger scale, the heavily taxed individuals could not be depended OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Regular meeting of the ALEE will be held at 7:30 this evening in Marvin hall auditorium.

Taking this road Professor Flint's visitor would have opportunity to get a full view of the beautiful distributing mechanism on the latest model-type setting machinery. A little farther on he might stand and gaze for a moment at a very rare specimen, the Duplex flatbed-webb perfecting newspaper printing. In operation the Kelly automatic in operation, just before he went through the last door and reached his destination.

WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB: ☆ ☆ ☆ Now, such needless waste of time might very well be avoided by the posting of signs along a carefully thought out system of routes through the building to various offices, rooms and nooks. The main arteries of such a system might run from the north entrance to the professor's office, the two extremes of the city, called the business district, the modern practice, Kansas Highway 1 and 2. upon to put their money to any better use than the government now does, were taxation to be relieved. If we are to be democratic about this problem, it would be far better to allow the government to continue its present taxation policy and have it set aside a fund for educational endowments. A meeting will be held on the cafeteria floor at 5:50 sharp Friday evening AGNES HUSBAND, Director. If well executed, the plan would be fundamentally sounder than the one which President Angell advocates, be- longer should be more inclusive and democratic. How to Find the Professor Being a Whimsical Essay by the Haggard Drudge Bewildered and not a little annoyed, a scholar has lost his way in the Journalism building, that architectural relafe of a by-gone century, which stands on Mr. Oread among its finer companions like a poor old lady in the midst of youth and beauty, a little ashamed of her age and poverty. "Well, it's downstairs. You go down the steps in the newsroom, over there—here or—over in the corner." The drudgery刀 is bawing around in the air as if it were quite out of control. "At the bottom of the steps you turn right—or you can go straight—aw, come on, I'll show you." Wandering into one of the concealed chambers in the interesting old pile, the scholar encounters a haggard drudge bonding over a desk, and inquires diffidently, "Can you tell me where I can find Professor Flint's office?" The professor's visitor, however, will take the south road, leading immediately through a door, on the other side of which he will be surprised, no doubt, to find himself standing in the rain staring through the windows of Watson Library, with many rows of eyes staring out at him. In sort of person he may hold his course and, pushing on through the wind and weather, arrive shortly at his destination. Tmid travelers would need to be reassured at this point with a sign worded somewhat as follows: "It's O.K. friend, don't be downcast. Keep on No. 2, straight ahead through the door, continue past the Webster's Unbound Dictionary, turn right at clear first partition, and there—the prorail—or This whole plan is still very much in the rough, to so speak and no action has been taken, but the haggard drudge of his work is working wighthips it into shape. (thank God, there is only one stairway), and proceeds thence without a turning as far as Dr. Lee's door. At that point a sign could be placed to inform the way-far that here the road splits into Kansan Highway 2 North and Kansan Highway 2 South. The north road leads directly to the north exit, which may be used also as an entrance, as implied by the time-warm inscription on the door, "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."
